genome-wide association studies (gwas)
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) are research investigations that examine the entire DNA sequence of different individuals to identify genetic variations associated with specific traits, diseases, or conditions. These studies help researchers understand the role of genetic factors in influencing human health and provide valuable insights into risk factors and potential treatment targets.
